Apparently you don’t either, I’ve read books on them… I have 3 itallian greyhounds.. Plus I bread them once. The information I gave you was directly from the book. But the IG can be seen in illuminated manuscripts and in master painters such as Blake, Carpaccio, Van Dyck, Teniers and Ward. According to current theory this breed is around 2000 years old. Most authorities believe the breed was dwarfed for pet purposes from a Greyhound of long ago.
This it is not accepted fact that Italian Greyhounds were produced by selective breeding of Greyhounds for size. Far from it in fact. Italian Greyhounds are quite a separate breed from Greyhounds, and it is believed they date back some 6000 years.
They obviously do share common traits with the other sight hounds, but could quite as easily be derived from cross breeding of an early sight hound, in much the same way that the Greyhound originally came into existence.
Lmao are you stupid? They ARE BREAD DOWN from the big ones until they got to this size. They are EXACT greyhounds but smaller.. hense miniature greyhounds. Italial painters thought they were so beautiful that they painted them in paintings.. thats why they are called “italian greyhounds” they were bread for this size because of how warm they are, they slept with people in beds to keep warm. and they truely are very very warm dogs.

Maybe you should have some manners and learn to not correct people, it’s rude. I’m defending myself.

My IG looks exactly like yours except mine is a girl. It’s so weird how IGs seem to act the same exact way.

I watch this from time to time and laugh just as hard as the first time I saw it when I get to the ricoche take-off sound – that sums up an IG!
November 26th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
That is a cute pup. Very similar to mine.

this is so funny – especially with the sound effects. Anyone w/an IG knows what bullet ricoche sound means…
